Society	Home Page   A very warm welcome to the Whitby Literary & Philosophical Society website. The Whitby Literary & Philosophical Society runs Whitby Museum Library Archives Monthly lectures The Society was established in 1823 and has around 800 members. It is one of the very few remaining Literary & Philosophical Societies that still runs an independent Museum, the older parts of which are often regarded as a 'Museum within a Museum' and have the atmosphere of an Edwardian Museum. The extension, opened in 2005, offers a costume gallery, temporary exhibition, lecture (Normanby) room and tearoom facilities.   Use the links to the left to find out more about the Museum and the Society's operations. There is plenty to interest all you web surfers, whether it is straight forward information about opening times or descriptions of our wide ranging and often unique collections.   Click here for information about our new Souvenir Guide   Many thanks to Rod Lister for the cartoons and small drawings
